2.4 million Afghan girls remain locked out of secondary school, five years after the Taliban returned to power. UNESCO warns of lasting social and economic consequences. The figure could reach four million by 2030 unless the Taliban reverses policy. Afghanistan is now the only country in the world that formally prohibits girls and women from receiving an education beyond the primary level. UNESCO calls this a grave violation of fundamental rights.
